At the end of the century, questioning the movie tide

Elroy 2022-03-23 09:02:15

The films that I included in the end-of-the-century questioning movie trend include "The Truman World" (1998), "City of Souls" (1998) and "The Matrix" (1999). Together with this film, these four films born in those two years will question the further expansion of this element, and the object is actually the authenticity of the whole world.

The film was selected as one of the "50 Smartest Movies of 20 Years" by "Film World" magazine, ranking fifth, while "City of Souls" was fourth.

The ending of this film is meaningful and amusing. It is the only warm feeling in the whole film. If you investigate the tendency of the main creator, you will be surprised at the subversion and rebellion displayed by such an arrangement. Compare the other three films.

PS: Pay attention to the actors and their roles, each of the three leads plays two roles... ORZ! !

    Although concise, it does not hide the excitement of the story. The film uses multiple worlds to almost perfectly interpret agnosticism: Is human behavior in the eyes of other beings like ants? At the end, the philosophical speculation of reality and existence is infinitely extended in just one second, throwing the audience a final (and final) question: If we cannot define reality, what is reality? / Adapted from the same novel as "In Between Worlds".

    The idea is good, but it's a little simpler. I guessed the ending when the male protagonist returned to the old man in 37 years, and let love be the main line. I'm really sorry for the title of a suspense movie! The most classic of the whole film is the sentence at the beginning, I think, therefore I am here~ Is there a title at the beginning! The film made more than ten years ago is actually quite awesome. After watching too many suspense films and then looking back at the concept of inception, it is actually not so awesome. . .
